Catherine Bell Biography
Catherine was born in London, but moved to
California with her Iranian mother at age 2. Her
mother still acts as her personal assistant. As
a child she acted in various TV adverts. She
went to UCLA to study biology, but dropped out
to become a model in Japan.
She moved back
into acting with a Mexican commercial for AmEx
and then followed that up by being Isabelli
Rosselini's nude body double in "Death Becomes
Her", where she also met her future husband,
Adam Beason, who was the director's assistant.
The couple currently live near L.A. with their
baby daughter Gemma and their 2 Italian
greyhounds, Zoe & Leo.

Though she plays a
true-blue American Marine investigator on CBS's J.A.G.,
Catherine Bell is actually London-born. But when
her parents, Peter, an architect, and Mina, a nurse,
divorced when Catherine was a toddler, she and her
mother settled in Los Angeles, CA.
   
A self-described "geek," Bell thrived in math and
biology in school, and in junior high once programmed a
computer video game. Catherine Bell entered UCLA
with the intention of being a pre-med major, but in her
sophomore year found herself at a crossroads. Making a
decision to take her life in a different direction, she
began modeling in Japan, but after four months found the
lifestyle damaging to her self-esteem and well being.
   
She returned to Los Angeles with a new goal: to prove
herself as an actress. Catherine Bell soon found
herself cast in guest spots on shows like Hercules,
Dream On, and Friends. But it was a three-line part on
the military drama J.A.G. - on an episode in which her
character was brutally murdered - that changed it all.
Several months after
that guest spot, Catherine Bell heard that the
producers of J.A.G. were looking for a new female lead
for the show. So she crossed her fingers and wrote a
letter to executive producer Donald P. Bellisario,
declaring her suitability for the role of Maj. Sarah
"Mac" MacKenzie.
Intrigued, Bellisario decided to take a gamble, and
Catherine Bell won the part. Her chemistry with male
lead David James Elliot, who plays Lt. Cmdr. Harmon
"Harm" Rabb, ensured that the show, which had been
struggling in the ratings, would thrive on a new
network. J.A.G. now holds a steady position in Nielsen's
Top 20.
Her role on J.A.G. allows Catherine Bell to
showcase her athletic skills - she's been kickboxing for
over 10 years, and knows her way around a shooting
range. In her off-camera time, her tomboyish nature
comes to the fore when she throws herself into
snowboarding, riding motorcycles, wakeboarding, and
other extreme sports.
Catherine Bell shares her Los Angeles-area home
with her husband, actor Adam Beason, and their two
Italian greyhounds, Leo and Zoe.

Before the 2001 NFL season began, in a survey of 70
celebrities who had nothing to do with football
conducted by "The Sporting News," Catherine Bell
correctly predicted that the New England Patriots would
eventually beat the St. Louis Rams in the season-ending
Super Bowl by the score of 20 to 17. This amazing
prediction was made despite the fact that vast majority
of "football experts" didn't think the Patriots would
even make the playoffs much less get to the Super Bowl.

correctly predicted the participants in, winner, and
final score of a Super Bowl before a season begun in a
published article in a major sports periodical or book.
